Kamp-Thaya-March cycle route

<p>At the start of the route you can enjoy beautiful cycling along the Kamp, then steep sections await you in the Waldviertel. Through the Weinviertel it mostly goes downhill, and in the end you cross the gently rolling landscape to the Danube. The route mostly runs on traffic-free farm roads and secondary roads. The stretch in the Waldviertel is mostly paved, in the Weinviertel you will also encounter gravel farm roads. The Kamp-Thaya-March cycle path is consistently well signposted. Along the route you also come across cycle signs marking smaller regional circular routes (e.g. Pond-Tarn Route) and routes named after grape varieties (e.g. Welschriesling). Information about the smaller routes can be found in the cycling maps Weinviertel East and Weinviertel West.</p><p>Thanks to the perfect KTM route guide, orientation on the route is easy; the infrastructure for two-wheel fans includes bike-friendly restaurateurs and accommodation providers as well as service stations and the connection of the KTM route to the transport network.</p><p>The route should be planned as a week-long tour or longer (e.g. for culinary discovery tours or tours by nostalgic train and bike to the Thaya Valley, Austria’s smallest national park).
